HIT BY A PIECE of PAPER - Chapter 1
-AOGA HC-
It was 2 am, I still couldn't sleep. I got out of my bed and walked back and forth in front of my laptop which was lying on the table. I was in deep thought of making a new story or what. A series of events of a probable story came flashing through my mind and I couldn't just take a good hold of my thoughts anymore. I sat down on my bed, still staring at my laptop then sighed.
"Why are you seducing me, laptop?" I gave a small chuckle and balled my fist onto my chin. I grabbed my laptop and opened it.
Few seconds had passed, and soon I was able to open a document and type whatever I wanted. I paused for a moment and noticed a small note pasted on the wall. I haven't seen it before so I picked it out and read.
'I love you and I always will.'
"Oh!" I blurted out. It was from Mochu. My boyfriend. I mean, ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him few days ago after seeing him and my bestfriend, Luna kissing in the hallway of our school. Two of my most important persons cheated on me and took the risk of taking out the trust I was giving them. I couldn't bear thinking how they've hurt me. I didn't listen to his explanation nor my bestfriend even tried asking for forgiveness. I just wouldn't listen to them. After all, I couldn't believe them any longer. I hated them.
The note… well I guess he might have posted it before we broke up, pointing out the obvious. Just by reading those words, I could feel the pang of what they did. I crumpled and threw it outside my window without bothering it might hit someone below and for all I care it's 2 in the morning. Who would even dare to stroll around in that early time?
My house has two floors and my room is situated on the second floor so basically, I could throw whatever I want, imagining it as a huge black hole, sucking my every worst days . But then, I suddenly heard a faint 'ouch'.
I slowly peeked on my window and saw a guy trying to read the crumpled paper. "Oh dear!" I covered my mouth with my hand and stared with wide eyes on that person. He suddenly averted his gaze at me and laughed.
I stammered. "I.. I'm s...sorry, mister! I thought it was a trash can!"
He smirked and swayed the paper. "You thought your window is a trash can? Really? Wow, what a huge trash bin you have!"
I rolled my eyes and blurted. "Yeah right. I already said sorry. You can just leave that piece of junk there. Good-bye!"
I was about to shut my window when he said. "No. I'll keep this as a remembrance…"
I slightly nodded but he still continued talking. "A girl confessed to me thinking a window is a trash can. That's a really nice way to catch my attention."
I glared. "Really? As if it was meant for you."
He just chuckled. "I was just hit by this. Of course, it was meant to be." He grinned.
I irritatedly muttered. "I'm quite busy, mister. If you please?"
He smiled and waved his hand. "I'm Koko, by the way. See you around then, Sumire!"
I sat down back to my bed and suddenly shock came to my system. "What? He knows me? And who is this Koko?" I took a pillow and squished my face onto it until I let out a long squeal. "Way to annoy me better."
I gritted my teeth. "He's so cocky to think it was meant for him. Such an arrogant guy. Desperate for attention." I had then realized I've been typing his name in the document. "Damn!" I cursed, slamming the table.
He kinda looked familiar, anyway. Maybe I've seen him before but I never did know his name. He's tall, has hazel brown eyes and quite nice built. His messy not so long hair distracted me the most. He looked like he just got out of bed and didn't bother combing his hair. He looked like a total jerk already.
I sighed. "Now, I totally forgot what to write. That guy sucks minds. His arrogance is too powerful." I shut down my laptop and stood up.
"Why would I even bother thinking about him? It's just a nonsense conversation. Forget it ever happened. After all, maybe I was just dreaming anyway." I smiled and let myself fall on my bed. I placed a hand onto my forehead, straightly staring at the ceiling. I closed my eyes then finally drifted to sleep.
